Two of a kind... maybe
The insect field guides list these as two different species: Splendid Tiger (Cicindela splendida) on the left, Green Claybank Tiger (C. denverensis) on the right. But they hybridize so regularly (see additional photo in comments) that some experts now believe they are different color morphs of the same species.
